Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun columnist, sentient hat, chief Rob Ford sycophant, and wily Internet savant, wrote a thing the other day. You can read it here. It’s approximately 375 words in length, mostly organized into his standard one-sentence-per-paragraph format.
It is also — and please, brace yourself for this — quite dumb.
But we come here today not to point out Warmington’s dumbness. That part, for any of you who’ve read any of his words over the years in which he’s been writing them, is easy. It should be no surprise that Warmington’s take on recent anthem protests, police brutality, and the thoughts and feelings of professional athletes, including in this case the Raptors Jared Sullinger, is incoherent, silly, and slightly dangerous.
